A homeowner in Logan Square Chicago, acted swiftly to prevent a burglary on Thursday afternoon. Jason Williams, returning from work around 3:30 pm, received a security alert on his phone indicating a break-in.
Equipped with the first item at hand—a frying pan—Williams confronted the intruder. Security footage captured the burglar hastily leaving the house, jumping off the front porch as Williams pursued with the frying pan in hand. The footage depicts Williams chasing the suspect out of his home.
As I entered the house, I quickly scanned for any available weapon. Spotting a frying pan within reach, I seized it, just as the burglar descended the stairs.
Here is the video of the burglar being caught: got some good licks inside and the back. Keystone Cops theme should be added for laughs. I’m ok. Guys gonna have a headache tomorrow and was taken away by the ambulance. pic.twitter.com/ry1hr89A54

‘At that moment, it was a choice between fighting or fleeing, and I opted for the former,’ he added.
The police eventually caught the suspect across the street.

After the comical chase, Williams took to social media to share his experience, mentioning he had come close to apprehending the suspected burglar.
‘Here’s the video of catching the burglar: landed some solid hits front and back. Let’s add the Keystone Cops theme for laughs. I’m fine. They’ll have a headache tomorrow and got taken away in an ambulance,’ he wrote in the caption.
‘This situation could have ended differently, and I’m relieved it turned out well,” Williams said. “My wife isn’t pleased with my choice. I likely wouldn’t repeat it, but it happened as it did.’
The Chicago police have confirmed the arrest of a suspect. It is currently uncertain whether any formal criminal charges have been filed.
